Hope you guys enjoy this new series! Interestingly enough it was me, Evo Ben, who made this one, even though it seems absolutely like something Subaru Ben would make.

Can you do an interview with Jermaine? He literally could talk tuning in his sleep and has it down cold.
We've interviewed Jermaine a bunch of times before actually! Check out our video on Tuning and also our Ultimate Subaru video. He's also tuned both the Evo and the Forester, so he appears in both those videos.
Rotary series or Honda K series would be good 👍
@@GearsandGasoline Nice! I'll check it out!
Loved the first episode.
Would love to see an episode on turbo Golf's GTI's and R's alike.
I feel like I just watched a How to not blow your Subaru up
ikr very helpful tbh
Bruh fr 😂
The only way to not blow up your Subaru is to drive an EVO.
Stubaru I wish I had watched this a few years ago before I blew up my bug eye.😭
@@13THPR0PH37 I have yet to blow up my forester, I have a long way to go though 🤣
The transmission segment was really good, would like to see more of him.
Ask him on a date
Only fans /Tim the trans. Man
Was excellent, though trying to hang on to his every word was difficult, with that piano background music!
@@jimschwarz3901 th-cam.com/video/_Mpofl-NTaY/w-d-xo.html LOL
Can´t really see the connection between the piano and gearboxes...
Why on Earth would you not just buy an STI before swapping a transmission on a WRX???
Bro Gears and Gasoline gets slept on they make good ass videos
Yea super quality
No shit
Thanks for the flavour of the day use of slept there bro.
Section 5 Transmission: is pure engineering poetry. Can we please get Yates an award?
Wait this isn't up to speed with James Pumphrey
LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING
But it makes MO POWAH BABY
Pumphrey* respect my dad...
that was the unknown variable.
@@_Wiseguy7 *HAYAA* *#unknownvariable*
18 minutes? it felt more like 5 minutes. ❤ Good job guys.
Bought my 06 STI brand new in Feb 06. Never modified at all, just flipped 103000 miles. I've done a slew of maintenance and items that have gone bad with age but drivetrain and such have never skipped a beat. Just when I think about modifying it I realize how much I enjoy the reliability and fun that the car gives me in it's stock form, and how much money I've saved by not going the modified route. I love seeing all the modified ones though when done correctly.
mo mods, mo problems lol
I been driving my 400whp sti for almost 2 years, its my daily driver, it's been great. 2020 will be the year where I'm going for 500whp.
Israel Reynoso amado just stay at 4 if its working idk 5 just seems like trouble haha
Pushing 450 whp on the hubs on my sti 08 on e85 :)
@@bri99912 my bottom end is built so maybe I'll got for 500 lol, I'll have a daily driver soon so my sti wont be my daily no more.
@@piotrfrackiewicz6703 I'm 400 on 93, I really dont want to go e85, maybe in the future I will.
What turbo? Injector size? Are you already E85?
The quality of these vedios are satisfying 👌🏾
that seems like a low rating. satisfying
No actually
transmission guy is AMAZING! I hope he gets more screen time in the future.
This is pretty cool. I’ve never left a TH-cam comment but I’ve had my car built by Andrewtech and tuned by Jermaine. Never had a problem with it, even driving it over the Rockies.
Oh yeah, it made 360 whp on a stock motor and trans.
These guys are the real deal.
Another very well made video guys. *Congrats!*
@Lil Kabob Thanks! Yes! Brothers through vehicles!
The quality of these vids is on point 🤤👌🤤👌🤤👌🤤👌🤤
at around 14:00 the piano gets a little out of control. You wanna calm down, Mr. Piano Man? We're trying to hear the guy talk!
He just wanted a solo and had to cram one in🎹
Calm down Erik Satie
It was the anticipation and also to distract you from being close to the end of the video 😆.
Don’t you like De bussy?
fr fr i thought it was my spotify
As someone who has been modifying and tuning Subarus since 1999, I can say the aftermarket has come a loooooooooong way from importing everything from Japan.
I need to see more of this series. Great editing, quality, and information. I can't wait to see more of this series. Keep up the good work!
I haven't had any issues with my 2017 WRX in 3 years of daily use, just upgraded to stage 2 and now this video has me thinking I'm driving a ticking time bomb.
Hows it doing another 3 years later? (or sold?)
GNG I just want to say this series right here is a legit winner cant wait to see more of it. Just started following you guys a few months ago after moving to VA and I'm impressed to say the least. Love what you guys are doing. Keep it up.
Love the video and work you all do. The goat in transmission work “Andrew” I recall doing the research on NASIOC, and all subaru forums. Great video for anyone wanting to mod or get into Subaru’s. Again great info🤙🏽
Can’t wait for the rotary episode on this, gonna love this series!
The hatchback at 1:40 damn 😍😍
aaron sempa I wish the new gen of wrx came in hatchback 😭😭
@@SlimChanceDubs yes they should. We who love wagons/estate/SUVs/hatches need them
That plate too
aaron sempa wish the Levorg came to the US, but as a manual.
@@snakerb The Levorg might be something I might lean to considering how the Forester has turned away from turbo
Kudos to the awesome segment you guys added to this great TH-cam channel. GG deserves more credit and subscribers for the quality content that it provides.
One of the best Subaru videos I have ever seen. Very honest and technical love it. Loved the trans gear comparison
You guys are absolutely killing it. 🔥
What sort of events do you attend?
STI: knock events 😭
This video was a BIG help!
I JUST got into the STI family today, and now I know what I should be looking for. Whats even better is AndrewTech is right in my back yard, and i'll def be calling them this week!!
I really enjoy watching your videos. I’ve subscribed years ago and I saw this channel growing. I’m so happy that can sit down, relax and watch your content. Nice work dudes!
This is essential information for all Subaru owners! It’s awesome, congrats on this new idea! And I’m not even a Subaru owner, would love it if you would do something similiar for the Focus ST platform.
Check out Flatirons Tuning in Boulder.
The quality of this video. Just wow.
This is a really great series to start because it will help/educate the new STI and WRX drivers in addition to the current ones who either want to make more speed or upgrade this is really detailed and explained thoroughly I enjoyed every minute of it
Very well done ! And as an older car guy (almost pushing 50) driving my 3rd Subie (currently a 2019 STI) you have stated many things I have been trying to "preach" to the young'uns since I got my first Subie 10 years ago ! Thank You.
Definitely want more episodes of this series.
The people are great, its a nice comfortable way to get this information.
This is gonna be a fun series. Thanks for always having new quality videos.
Thank you for making videos like this one that show realistically what you need to do overall for each stage for a popular platform.
I had to come fast since i saw Subaru in the title🤷🏻♂️
Lmfaoo I saw what you did there.
same
Same. It wasnt even at half mast.
#EVOPOWER
Everything you need to know about Performance BMW’s- The Aftermarket
Would be dope to see the N54 after market
Most underrated comment of 2020, until we get this vid.
i absolutely love the this new series it saves a ton of time for research and has amazing visual aids i hope you guys add to the series playlist soon
Great video gents, all included. I have been watching many over 8 weeks, 10/10, thanks
Excited for this series. Hopefully the Z’s come around soon
A much better platform, they may not make the same power gains from their vq, but they wont explode and need to be replaced after 2 weeks of ownership like a subaru
Driving my 2019 STI is the most fun and engaging driving experience I've ever had.
I hope you try gc8 chassis sti, you will change your mind :D
@@Eametsa for sure more engaging and raw (gc8) but not faster
What other Japanese turbo car still lives up to the hype of the 90s? The Mk V Supra is great, but Toyota is so departed from providing a driver's car that BMW had to make it for them. GTR came back in amazing form, but quickly spiraled off in price into 6 figure unobtainium. Beyond those basic flaws, we have the lack of manual transmission option, vague electronic assist steering, and all the other electronic assists that take away feeling and precise control.
Same here I just picked up a new 2019 STI & so far I got a Borla Type-S catback exhaust.
Lorenzo Clara 1.5 Ton 10th gen sti faster than 1.2 Ton gc8? Dont think so
This episode is pure perfection. Amazing job guys, this was a really informative video. Would love to see another one, based on the EVO and it's legendary 4G63 platform vs. the 4B11. Keep up the grind, ya'll are pushing some outstanding content!
As a Subaru technician, I absolutely love this video. Well put together, straight to the facts and the people being interviewed are knowledgable about their craft. I build Subaru engines and transmissions for a living, I can always tell when someone is full of fluff. Also, I would point out that Advance is my go-to parts store, as well as many other Subaru techs that I know, primarily because of the availability of common and not-so-common Subaru parts and the general shopping experience. Good shit guys, let's see some more content like this!
As a honda enthusiast this is beautiful and well done.
I dig this series. I would love to see one on the Mk7 GTi/Golf/R cars.
Eager for more of this series. You guys do amazing work!
Gears and gasoline videos are the only ones on TH-cam that I watch more than once.
Loved this series I would love a Honda one
Should do after market on Honda's and interview bisi from bisi moto and the guys at k-tuned
For aftermarket on nissan interview guys at z1 motorsports, stollen, jim wolf technologies
Bisi has been all over TH-cam with his van and wago.
Yes Nissan plz
What about spoon 🥄 ?
bisimoto and ktuned don't have very good reputations.
@@5PYZ3R Bisimoto if anything is a tad overpriced but they make some good stuff just like ktuned. I'd still like to know what bed reps they have tho
Just finding this series. It's incredible.
Just picked up my first turbo car a couple days ago! A pretty decently clean 04 wrx wagon! Black on black with momo interior.. Super excited. I've been looking at them for years now biding my time for the right deal and it finally happened. Thanks for this video it points me in a better direction for the build.
I saw "everything you need to know to get up to speed" first
Gears & Gasoline is on another level🔥🔥🔥
Excellent video. Looking forward to more of The Aftermarket. As a Subaru fanboy, I appreciate seeing some experts talking critically about the pros and cons of these cars. I love them but know they're not perfect. If you understand the limitations and weak spots, you can have a great experience with a turbo Subaru.
My friend has driven my subie and a buddy of ours and he loves them. this will be a great video to show him so he can see what he’s getting into
as a guy that drives a mustang, i love the suburus. fantastic fun cars!
Great video! Would have been nice if there was more info about reliability mods though, like the 4th cylinder cooling mod, or air/oil separators. Both are said to be crucial for the longevity of the EJ motor.
Yay for EQ headers and more torque.
As I'm currently saving up for a 2018 Subaru Wrx and would like to eventually build it to 750 WHP this video contains valuable info. Thank you. You guys make some of the best and most informative videos. Love your channel.
This was a great episode! Coming from a fellow Subaru Enthusiast and a Dealer Tech, they hit all the spots! ♡♡♡♡
"[…] Sam, I'm a Subaru enthusiast, and like to believe* I am an expert […]" what a man. 👍
Then discusses about every quirks and dings on a plethora of Subarus... 🙏
Would love an episode like this on mazdaspeed 3/6
Great video and the new series is awesome. Please do a video on the Subaru's best rival, the EVO! The differences between the 4G63 and 4B11 to the manual 5 and SST 6 speed. The do's and don'ts and explaining the right way to move up to the different power stages such as how COBB does it from 1-4 and beyond to a full build. Keep up the great work!
Killer start to the series guys! Can't wait for the next one.
Love the series idea! Would be fun to see an episode about the VW/Audi 2.0T engine cars.
I love this, next I'd say do LS..
@Lil Kabob why does he have to stfu. LS's work and work well
blr153289 Gears doesn’t really cater to v8 fans
@Lil Kabob because you lose to them? Lol. I know there are a bazillion LS swaps out there, and everyone has swapped them into every goddamn thing. But you really know why? Because you can make TWICE the hp for the money. It's that simple. I have both. I love my Subie, but I f@$%ing hate it too. The LS will always be more solid and I havent done hardly anything to it.
This series is amazingggg I cant wait to see more!!! Very informative even if you don’t own the certain car
GREAT SÉRIE IDEA. I just bought a 07 Wagon WRX so it couldn't have a better timing. Thanks.
Keep doing what you guys are doing the best!
Why wasn't this in my recommended before I bought my foz lol
i wanna see one on mazdaspeed 3s :P
The Speed 3 with the scoop. I hate the older gens without the scoop. 🚮
Awesome...cant wait to see more platform conversations with aftermarket shops. Please keep them coming
Amazing video! Needed this to work on my EJ engine this is a great way to not blow it up!
0:43 Jermaine is a Subaru expert. 11:19 Jermaine is off by 1.0:1 on the static compression of the FA20DIT engine. ;)
Getting really into the video.
*Sees Rotella T6*
Ight imma head out
What's bad about rotella? I'm genuinely curious.
This video brought to you by Shell. Never used it or heard of anyone using it except the States.
@@phoenixrising7047 It's pretty popular in the Subaru community even though it's marketed as a diesel car/truck oil.
@@juanarroyo465 Nothing that i know of, ive used T6 in my motorcycles and ATVs for years. When i bought a 04FXT that was my go to oil, i hit 230k abusing that poor EJ. i finally suffered ringland failure one night having way to much fun. when i tore the block down, i was impressed at how much it protected the internals form wear and tear, they looked perfect. Since its meant to be used in a turbo diesel engine,(pretty demanding conditions for oil) it does its job very well in N/A and turbo gasoline engines, plus its cheap.
And its obvious who doesnt know about oil here
Great stuff and info for us Subaru folks! Had the WRX, later moved too my 🐢 17' Crosstrek project. More offroading in my journey.
Keep up the cool work guys!🤘🏽
I can't believe how much I learned from one video. Looking forward to learning about other platforms. 10/10 would watch again
Honda.....you gotta do Honda my dude's (EDIT Like for Honda to be the next manufacturer)
Lil Kabob VTEC is love bro
vtec is life
Turbo k20!
Lil Kabob 18 min video talking about subaru engine failures.
Does rainfall become a hazard with those hood exits that runs from the turbo?
No issues at all. Rain will just run down over the intercooler like the air does as intended.
@@krystophm1730 ohh...thanks for the info
Yes, it will rust the turbo and more dangerously the wastegate if not covered.
@@benpalumbo6726 lol... whaaaaat?
@@rite2beararms water causes rust. Is this news? Lol. Water in the dump tube will reach the wastegate and eventually break it
I love the idea of this series and the video is awesome please do everything
Thank you. Just bought a Saaburu and needed this info
this is my favorite car, but i know that when North Korea runs out of bombs and they're ganna use this car to the same effect.
Haha
Can you guys do these for like all “attainable” cars (fords, chevys, nissans) and weirder stuff (volvos, saabs, diesels)
Love what you guys do
What's not attainable about a older subaru? A good decent 06-10 wrx sti can be had for 5-15k. While a 25 year old Nissan pos will cost cost over 5k. Then you still might have to throw in another 5-10k fixing it up. So it will run some what dependable.
Excellent Video! Very Informative and kept my attention for every second of it. Looking forward to this series 👍
Great job on the vid as always! Invaluable information for anyone new to the platform!
The stock STI trans can definitely handle power, local shop's car is making about 1000whp on race gas and ~750-800 wtq, takes hard launches and drag runs all day no problem.
Next: Everything You Need to Know About Turbo Evo's- The Aftermarket
*cough*.. turbo DSM's sir. the eclipse/talon started the whole shit and they're 4G63-T too
Evos & DSMs: the pinnacle of fuckboi technology
Great easy to watch video, the classical music in the background was a nice touch 👌
Wow. Tons of great info in this video. I especially liked the info on 5 speed vs 6 speed transmissions.
"Subaru enthusiASS" 🤔
Can't forget upgrading to an equal length header for power and reliability.
But, but... MA RUMBLE! haha!
@@R1Armadill0 Rumble vs Reliability 😂 It is part of the problem. Everyone wants to slap on an intake/exhaust/blow off valve so they can have cool noises but don't bother tuning it correctly. Also 2015+ WRX owners don't get a choice, no rumble for them lol
It reminded me of the widebody videos. It was so satisfying.
Great video with amazing quality as always. I am sure you reach 1 mil subs in no time. Keep up the good work :)
Makes me happy I never bought a subaru kinda. Seems like you gotta do alot of work like building blocks just to get anywhere near 400whp.
The fa motors are a lot better then the ej power wise
@@enzoc3869 you obviously didn't watch the video. Fa has weak rods
@@zachknee9858 I don't need too because I know already what is on it. 400whp is acheivable, but 350wtq is the limit. Rods are weak sure but stock block 400 whp is acheivable.
Had a 2014 hatch I bought at 23k miles, added a full catless exhaust Cobb intake and a protune for 315 whp and 315 ft lb tq, at 34k miles motor blew. Theres a reason Subaru had a lawsuit against them for the ringlands. I loved that car too, favorite one ive had. Couldnt trust it after that motor blew tho and called it quits on the Subis
@@jonbohn7045 you should read my comment because i'm talking about the fa20
we need one on HONDAS
Love this new video series. Great job @gearsandgasoline .
This new series is going to be an absolute gem for newcoming enthusiasts.
Meeeee i just bought a 2004 subie wrx sti
Welcome to the history of glass
Says the mustang driver lol
Those guys make money from you, so take what they say lightly
You guys just understand how to make a video. Impressed as always boys.
Notice the bug,blob,hawk-eye models get the most love here...The newer cars are behemoths. I know Subaru is always reaching for the high crash ratings but the impreza seems like its a a full size car nowadays.
